High global rating for Monash Business School
Professor Colm Kearney
The Monash Business School has ranked fifth in the world for its business and economics research according to the globally respected RePEc (Research Papers in Economics) ranking of the world’s business schools in July 2014.
RePEc is a collaboration between 82 countries that aims to enhance the dissemination of research in the business and economics disciplines. It ranks the world’s top business schools, economics departments, and other organisations such as research centres, institutes and international agencies, including by sub-discipline, by country and by region.
On the business school rankings, ahead of the Monash Business School are Chicago Booth (1), New York Stern (2), Columbia (3) and Berkeley (4). Making up the remainder of the ‘top dozen’ business schools are MIT Sloan, Harvard, Stanford, Solvay Brussels, UCLA Anderson, Northwestern Kellog and Yale.
“This ranking is a measure of the combined research strengths across many of our sub-disciplines in the Monash Business School,” said Professor Colm Kearney, Head of Monash Business School and Dean of the Faculty of Business and Economics.
“RePEc also ranks the Monash Business School sixth in the world for experimental economics, eighth for econometrics, ninth for cognitive and behavioural economics, and 13th for health economics,” Professor Kearney said.
This RePEc ranking adds to the Business School’s list of quality indicators, which includes the triple crown of accreditation by AACSB, EQUIS, and AMBA which is achieved by less than one per cent of business schools in the world.
